However, I really really miss bread, rice, chocolate... damn!
HAVE it. Just have smaller portions, less often. No big deal. And, here's a tip I learned the hard way: NEVER eat carbohydrate snacks alone. Always have them with a meal or "cushion" them with a protein/fat addition. This slows down the insulin spike and creates less metabolic havoc.
Atkins bread is fantastic. There are many low-carb recipes available for bread-machine breads. Rice? Who misses rice? And chocolate? I never had a sweet tooth, but there are also many resources available online. (FR is not the entire internet, ya know :))
